Schloss Bärenklau

Schloss Bärenklau is a manor house in Schenkendöbern featuring a neo-baroque three-wing layout with mansard roofs, high arched windows, and a portico with Corinthian capitals at the entrance. The building displays classical architectural details across multiple levels characteristic of early 20th-century manor design.

The manor was constructed between 1928 and 1929 by Berlin architects Breslauer and Salinger for textile manufacturer Ernst C. Lehmann-Bärenklau. The owner died during World War II, after which the building experienced significant changes in use and ownership.

The manor serves as a center for art exhibitions and cultural presentations, hosting contemporary artistic expressions in its historic rooms. Visitors can experience rotating exhibitions that bring fresh creative energy to the building.

The manor is located about 25 minutes from Cottbus and is accessible in under two hours from Berlin, making it convenient for day trips. Group tours are available for parties of 20 or more and should be arranged in advance.

The estate spans approximately 65 hectares of land with a 6-hectare park surrounded by meadows, forests, and lakes of the Niederlausitz region. This rural setting creates a striking contrast between the structured manor grounds and the open landscape beyond.
